This weekend, the cat situation regressed to near-disastrous levels (I have the bandages on my arm to prove it), so I stayed out of the house (after separating the cats of course), and did some therapy shopping. Therapy shopping is always better when there's a sale, so I was super happy when I walked into UO to find they were offering an extra 50% off sale prices. I saw this white dress a few months ago, and fell in love, but I loved it even more for $15 bucks! It's definitely a summery dress, but it's not cotton (personally a straight cotton dress is a little too summery for me to transition) so with a slip and tank top layered underneath, it works for cooler weather too. Do you wear slips? I purchase half slips second hand (in good condition of course) to wear with skirts and dresses, and then cut them to the length I need. As long as the slip is polyester or nylon, it won't fray, and will act as a lining for an unlined piece of clothing. They're especially handy when you're wearing tights, your dress won't bunch or stick to your legs.

After living in jeans for the past couple of weeks, it was so nice to put on a dress. The weather had been hovering in the high 60's to 70's, making it a little tough to put on tights, but Monday morning, the temp dropped. We even had to turn the heat on last night. And, man it's really starting to get dark out earlier! I rushed home after work yesterday so Chris could take some pictures and we had about 10 minutes before we lost the light. All last week it was either raining or too dark, so I think it's time we change our photo schedule! Here's to waking up even earlier in order to take pictures!

P.S. I have an interview up on the Propelle blog today, if you're interested in reading it, you can find it here!

This is quite possibly my favorite outfit of yours of all time. If not favorite, then at least top 5. That dress is just perfection. I wanted that coat so bad last year but I never ended up snagging it. Oh, regrets!

Oh man, what a gorgeous outfit from top to bottom. I love what you did with your hair!

I've never been much of one for slips until recently. I got a dress that I loved, but it had a wicked case of static cling - so I took out the attached slip from one of my other dresses, and it worked like a charm! I'm a convert now :)

This is probably one of the most gorgeous dresses I've ever seen. And I can't believe you got it for only $15. Such an amazing find! I love how you paired it with the dark maroon tights, too. It works so well for fall!
